Purchase of the Month: June

Hey guys,

Here we are with a new Purchase of
the Month. So this month there are many pictures. Yay. But also the video is
really long. Sry. You should still watch it. :D I like it. I swatch nearly all
eyeshadows of the NYX Crimson Amulet palette in the video.

What I got:

NYX Crimson Amulet eyeshadows

NYX Crimson Amulet palette (first 12
eyeshadows - colorful): These eyeshadow are truthfully not all great.
Unfortunately many colors are just a variation of grey with colored sparkles.
Maybe this has to do with the name of the palette? In the video you’ll hear in
depth which colors are great for what. All in all: Most colors did disappoint
me a bit.

NYX Crimson Amulet eyeshadows

NYX Crimson Amulet palette (second
12 eyeshadows - neutral): These shadows do not disappoint. They are fantastic. Again
I talk about each color in the video. All in all they are wonderful and if you’re
still looking for good new neutral shades, get this palette!

NYX Crimson Amulet palette (blushes):
These blushes are incredible. The only thing I don’t use that often is the
highlighter. The dark blush can still be used with my light skin but probably
looks best with tanned to dark skin. Just be careful: The pigmentation of these
is crazy!

NYX Crimson Amulet palette (lip
colors): I was so surprised by the pigmentation of these. They are way better
than the Tarte ones in the jewelry box. You can actually see the differences in
the colors when you apply them to your lips. Still they’re not better than a
good old lipstick, but you can use them anyway. :D

NYX Crimson Amulet palette (eyeliner
and base): The eyeshadow base works good in combination with the eyeshadows. It’s
slightly stickier than other bases (for example the Elf Eyelid primer). There
will be a separate video about that. The liquid eyeliner is great.
Divamakeupqueen didn’t like it because it’s a very wet formula. It is but I don’t
have any issues with that. It dries after a while and doesn’t really smudge
after that. The little brush is great for a delicate line which I prefer. Great
liner. :)

Kiko Long Lasting Color Lip Marker in 102

Kiko Long Lasting Color Lip Marker
in 102: This is limited edition, so if you wanna get it get it soon. It gets a
little blotchy on the lips but with some lipbalm you don’t see that too much.
Staying power is ok. I really like the color. It’s very eyecatching. Has a nice
scent as well.

Kiko lipstick in 79

Kiko lipstick in 79: I would tell
everyone to get this but it is sold out right now. I don’t know whether it will
be back in stock. But it’s gorgeous. A great summer shade. Super creamy on the
lips, not too drying. Just a prefect lipcolor for summer. The scent is really
nice and neutral.

Kiko Sheer and Creamy - Creamy side

Kiko Sheer and Creamy - Sheer side

Kiko Sheer and Creamy lipstick Duo
in 08: This lipstick has two ends which you can use on top of each other or on
their own. I prefer the second version. The creamy side is super nude and matt,
the sheer side is pure glitter. You can see that on the swatches. I like both
sides. The product is really nice but when it dries it can feel quite
uncomfortable. Always use a lipbalm with it! The scent is a little weird but I
like that it has this pencil form.

Hope you enjoyed this post. Things I
did not mention here have not been tried out yet. I will probably talk about
the Kiko Hand Sanitizer when I ever use it up and maybe you’ll see the nail
tools in one of my nail videos one day. Also the little skincare goodie will be
in my Used up! series one day. :)
